20 years have passed since a group of young people took its first steps into theatre. It’s in the small village of Campo Benfeito, lost in labyrinthine paths and hills of Serra do Montemuro that the group still works. Nowadays the team has seven members, but each new project brings to Campo Benfeito professionals from all around the country and abroad. Actors and actresses, designers, playwrights and directors flock to the village with the enthusiasm to create something different, something unique.
As a company in a rural area, Teatro do Montemuro is by obligation, but also by vocation a touring company, the "jugglers" of the 21st century, with a big bet on sets, detailed costumes and props, masks, live music.
Over 16 years of creations as a professional theater company, the group distinguishes itself by the authenticity and originality of its writings, sets, music and also by the actors work based on truth, emotion, joy and physicality brought to exhaustion.
Teatro do Montemuro is a solid structure that invests its resources creating new artistic projects, training, and planning its national and international tour, in the Altitude’s Festival and in other dynamics, that allow a gradual growth of the company, always based on a notion of sustainability.
Its performance has corrected culture asymmetries, presenting to public performances executed with rigor, seriousness, professionalism, but accessible to everyone, from a lawyer to a farmer.

The mission of AMC is to promote healthy lifestyles among young people from the region of Amarante and also approach them, especially those with fewer opportunities, to youth policies, encouraging their active participation. Besides, we intend to instill the values of European citizenship, democracy and sustainable development.
